I want to install CM7 internal rom but fail to boot from SD after I increase the card space to full capacity. The screen remains black for 20-30 seconds after plugging the cable. And then it will bypass the CWM and launch directly to rooted OS. However, I cannot place the ROM without resizing the card space.
One more question: is it safe to remove the SD card after the system is booted into CWM mode?
Any advice to install CM7 will be much appreciated
Thanks in advanced.

I had the same issue with a few cwm image files. Finally found the cwm files in zip format. Then I just copied them to the root of a blank SD card. I will try to zip them and upload them somewhere tomorrow. Its nice to have an 8gb cwm card.
Thanks guys. Yes a 8gb CWM image will be useful. Anyway, I just copy the CM7 beta zip file to the device internal memory and get it installed. Despite some technical errors (like google play not working), CM7 runs fine basically.
Ugh. Managed to trash my partitions and spent the most of the night learning a crash course of adb. Got things back to normal now. Will try to find my SD stuff tomorrow! Sorry for the delay!

EDIT! --
Right, so FINALLY got my NT back to proper working order.
I'm pretty sure I downloaded this file FROM these forums, however, a few searches turned up nothing, so I dropboxed them.
Here
Format your SD card, giving yourself the full partition to work with. Then unzip that file, and copy the contents (4 items, 1 folder) to the ROOT of the SD card.
That will make your SD card bootable, and acutomatically load the CWM recovery stuff. From there, you can backup your NT's current config.
Also, RE: your Google Play issue, you need to install the proper Gapps for your ROM,
To do that, click HERE then go down to the bottom of the first post, that's Veronica, and she rocks. I've learned more from her about all this stuff than most anyone else, and we've never talked.
ANYHOW. Go to the bottom of her post, and see her "My XDA FTP" link? Click that ( I didnt want to direct link it without her permission).
In there, you'll see a folder called gapps, navigate to there, and down load the gapps-gb-20110828... zip file. Copy that to your shiny, new CWM recovery SD card, and then boot from it, "install zip from SD card" "choose zip" choose that zip file, install it, and you'll have access to the google play (after market updates automatically) and all the other google features!

Hello friends, how are you?
I'm from Portugal, and i have one nice strek 5 working great.
But i have another two, that don't boot, it stuck on delll Logo.
i think another my friends try to root or update, and fail.
it don't make any fast boot or streak mod.
so i disassemble to read its sd card.
because i'm using windows, so i install DiskInternalls Linux Reader to have acess to sd card files.
When mounted, its show two volumes, "Linux Ext Volume 1" and "Linux Ext Volume 2"
the firs one have 244 Mbs, and the other one have 1.65Gb
the small one have two folders, lost+found, recovery and a lot of jpeg files in root folder.
the second one, that have 1.65Gb, have a lot od folders and semms a lot of a zipped rom image.
Its possible just decompress and copy to the volume?
Thanks
If you format the card and put it back in the streak, it should set it up automatically. However, you will lose anything on it this way.
Ok. i will try..
but, it don't need to write some data in "boot area" ?
I'm asking that, becouse i download 3 roms, all ziped, but easy to see files, i also download streak mod, and has only one img file, it can't be unzipped..
my firts idea, was copy streak boot files, to card, but i can't acess it..
My assumption, and it is only an assumption, is there is some sort of actual rom memory on the phone that holds the lowest levels of the operating system. Maybe fastboot and the recovery menu, but not recovery itself. The rom actually resides on the internal sd card. When I put in my freshly formatted sd card, I simply rebooted the phone and I don't remember if it was automatic, or I had to confirm it, but the streak partitioned/formatted/whatever the internal sd card itself. I then flashed a recovery and a rom.
Hello.
like you said, i have insert a new sd card, but formated in FAT, i think thats the problem.
I try to load Linux Live CD, and format in ext2/3.
or try to copy rom directly file to sd card.
You think might work?
***EDIT***
I have format the card, and i have inserted into sreak and turn it on..
How much time is preparing the new card ?
and how i know that is ready to reboot?
thanks
I have created an image of my inner SD Card right after a factory reset.
Download Here
I created this using Clonezilla, you should be able to use Clonezilla to restore it. It is an image of the entire sd card. You need to unzip the downloaded file to use it.
Note: I am running DSC_Rom, which is Gingerbread based. I don't think it makes a difference.

Hey guys, I recently got the Galaxy SII. Its rooted running Android 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1.
My issue is trying to run ZIP files from my SD card using ClockWorkMod. I put the files into the SD card root folder and then boot into CWM. When I go run zip file from SD card there is nothing there. CWM cant see any of my files.
I have sucessfully booted ZIPS by placing them in the Phone folder instead of the SD card folder. If I go into My files and then under sdcard/external_sd I can see the file I put on there. CWM just refuses to see these files. When I connect my phone I see 2 folders, Card and Phone. I am putting these zip files in Card. I assume this is correct? Can anyone help?
Cheers
mount ur int sd card
Thanks for the reply, while waiting for a reply I unmounted the SD card, formatted it and then remounted it. I dropped another zip file, once again made sure I could see it in file manager and it was there. Booted in CWM, went to install zip file, went to ext_sd folder and it still says no file found. Under storage the SD card is listed there. Any ideas?

Sounds like you are using version 4.x of CWM, this does not support native updating from dual memory (So it only ever looks at phone memory, while you can manually mount and then update it's not as simple a process and often steps get forgotten)... if you just update to the newer CWM you will see another option appear on the list (apply update from internal memory)... making it much clearer and easier to update. (Or just use your phone memory to hold the zip files, it really doesn't matter that much)
I think you are right, it says v4.0.0.2. Would someone be kind enough to point me to where the latest version is?
Edit- nevermind I think I found it.
Thanks guys

This question is not relevant, as he is referring to Recovery Mode. (Debugging is only optional through normal OS, and can not be changed in recovery without rebuilding the kernel)
Everything is all good guys, the new version of CWM allows me to boot from my SD card and it installed ICS perfect. Thanks again
HI folks,
Total newbie here looking for advice. With the excellent instructions on the site, I was able to quickly and easily burn CM7 to a class 4 SD card and boot my 16 gb nook table w/ no problem. I love CM7 and it blows away the Nook OS and the absurd limitations B&N has placed on the tablet.
Here's the question: I now want to open up additional storage and want to know if it is worth rooting the Nook internally?
I also wonder if it would run a little faster vs. running from the SD card?
I see no reason to ever go back to the B&N environment. On other hand, don't want to accidentally brick it in the process when it is running fine from the card.
If I choose to go with internal root, I am also bit confused on the best (most sound) way to go ahead and load CM7 internally, given that it is running now from the card. Do I just move it over or do I have to do something with CWM?
Thanks!
David
Easiest way to get a rom on the internal:
1. Make a bootable clockworkmod sd card (similar to your CM7 card, but this card will allow you to boot into a custom recovery).
2. Transfer desired rom (zip file) to local memory of the nook.
3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery via the card.
4. Make a backup of the current rom.
5. Install zip from sd -> choose the zip file you placed on the local memory.
6. Wipe data/cache.
7. Reboot into your new internal rom. If you would like, you can use indirect's app to flash clockworkmod to the internal memory and then format the bootable sdcard so you can use it as media storage.
If you ever need to return to stock, you can simply restore your backup via recovery.
Thank you very much!
That helps. I guess I am still trying to decide if it is worth doing that.
Will I have memory free on the device that I do not now and will it run any more efficiently or faster (vs. running off the SD card)?
Thanks again.
I think you'll have full access but it won't be mounted when you plug it into a PC.
If you want it to be mounted, you'll need to repartition. There is a guide for that or you can go to B&N and have them do it. Though, the B&N repartition is only half and half; doing it on your own you can get a lot more.
This is only for CM7 based roms though. CM9 does not have the internal memory mounting yet (I'm sure eventually it will).

Hmmm I need to search for a guide to mount the internal memory again.
I have done what the OP is thinking about doing on my Nook Tablet 16gb.
It works flawlessly but I don't see the internal memory when hooking the nook up to a PC. I just get an exclamation mark in my device manager. I can browse the internal memory through cm7, and it shows that I have nearly 12 gigs of free space on the device itself, but I cannot drop content from my pc on there.

Try modifying your build.prop file as shown in this post
Unable to mount "/bootdata"
I got an error msg (Unable to mount "/bootdata") when performing 4. What did I do wrong? I use TWRP to backup the ROM on bootable SD Card.

If you are trying to backup stock ROM and then install CM internally on emmc, I'd suggest taking a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35669871 for info/pointers.

Hi SGP users!
Last night, I installed the Jellybean CM10 ROM (the Nightly one). I also installed the GApps that came with the post. So I booted to Recovery Mode, I tried installing the ROM (Install zip from sd card>Install zip from internal sd card>downloads>the jb rom), but it says "INSTALLATION ABORTED". I repeated to install but to no avail. I rebooted the system to research on this, and the user said that you have to format system and try again. I booted to Recovery Mode again, formatted the system (it says system formatted or something like that), and installed the ROM for the nth time. It still says INSTALLATION ABORTED. Now, I tried installing the GApps zip file, and it worked (I installed the zip file because I want to know if all the files on the internal sd card are broken). So I tried installing the ROM again. Aborted. I rebooted the system, and now it's stuck with the white Samsung text! I don't know why, so I just drained the battery with the Samsung text still ongoing.
Today, I'm pretty sure the battery is drained (there's no text anymore), so I tried charging it. Nada, it's stuck with the loading logo on the battery image.
I think my device is bricked, I don't know. I researched it and all I found was the BootLoop. Is that the error on my SGP? I want to know if my device is bricked, and what caused this. Help?
Its not a brick..reboot to recovery (home + volume up + power ) and install some ics rom for player ..boot to that rom and then go again to recovery and install jb rom.That is offcourse if you have 5.0

Thanks, and one more question: Is it okay if I download the ROM zip from my computer and just transfer it to my player with Download Mode? Because I can't open my player, just to Download and Recovery mode.

transfer the zip files to your SD card; use those files to flash. Also, now, can you get into recovery/download mode? Like after having removed the player from the USB?
just curious- did you originally download the ROM/app package to your device (ie /mnt/sdcard/????) and flash, or did you place the files in the SD card (ie /mnt/sdcard/external_sd [or something like that]) before flashing?
===
Edit: Ok, so literacy kicked in and I carefully read your OP. My guess, and I could be wrong, though I doubt it, is that the installation aborted because you flashed the packages from your internal SD and NOT your external SD (ie the actual SD card). Since the ROM rearranges directory tree (or whatever), it would stand to reason that the installation aborted during the installation process since it could no longer locate the zip. Ie it is no longer /mnt/sdcard/downloads (or wherever), but rather /storage/sdcard0/downloads. I'm guessing that CWM bypasses this and accesses your SD card directly, rendering installation from your actual SD card immune to these effects.
So, try again (assuming your device can still go into CWM recovery) and flash the packages in the proscribed order, but this time, from the ACTUAL SD card, and NOT internal. I "upgraded" directly from a GB rom, having flashed the zip files from the external SD card, and suffered no problems, so I know it isn't necessary to go through ICS. Good luck!
This is a helpful one! I'm sorry, but one last question, (I'm a newbie sorry!) how do you move the zip files to the external SD Card? And if I do that, and it flashed successfully, do I have to start again if I remove my SD card? Really sorry for the questions, but I really want to know.
Thank you so much! Since my computer didn't recognize my SGP (suckish USB cable lol), I placed my external SD card on my cellphone and plugged the cellphone into the computer to download the zip files (I downloaded them directly to the card). Afterwards I placed my SD in my SGP and flashed--It's working, thank you!!!

All you need to do is use a file manager to move zip to sdcard1. Make sure you follow the steps in op of rom.

Thanks for the tip! I switched to JB ParanoidAndroid already because the Gapps on CM10 Nightly don't appear. Thank you anyway!
I don't normally do this I just lurk around for my questions but this time I really give up. I have done plenty of work with 16 gb stuff, but never 8 GB nook, trying to install CM 10.2 on a friend's 8GB Tablet, the issue is I cannot seem to find an img for clockworkmod I can just burn to an SD card, lavero.burgos guide requires CWM to already be installed into the internal recovery, but what if I take a clean nook out of the box, are there no CWM images I can burn straight to the SD version 6.x.x and after?
The other method seems to be the one where you create the partitions manually. Which is fine and all, and my device is obviously doing something, but it locks up on the cattonbox and doesn't continue on to CWM. Things I have tried:
1. putting in MLO first after freshly creating 0x0c partition (yes its active) and then the other files for custom SD-recovery
2. replacing the recovery in lavero burgos zip with the cwm_6012.img file, renaming it recovery.img
3. also tried renaming the file instead to boot.img that some guy recommended
4. have tried another sd, rinse, repeat
All the "SD" burnable images are either invalid, or have no partition information. The custom SD method has some sort of issue. I do plug in the cable. The problem isn't getting it to recognize the SD card as a bootable media, the problem is getting to go into CWM, I'm all out of wit, it's been two days man, basically:
HELP?
EDIT: Just tried cwm_6033.img; no dice. These images are supposed to be 8GB Friendly I believe. I don't understand what gives
EDIT 2: Great. I wasted some freaking space on the forum. Sorry guys. Use cwm_6033, rename boot.img, and hold "N" when the trash box comes up. Yay
